The piglet known across the internet as Chris P. Bacon scoots across the office floor of veterinarian and owner Len Lucerno near his new wheelchair in Clermont, Florida February 13, 2013. The piglet’s hind legs are deformed and Dr. Lucero had fashioned a wheelchair out of K’nex toys to help the piglet walk. Chris has outgrown his second wheelchair, and will soon grow into his new, more permanent and rugged model.
